Product Description
The Pentair IntelliChlor PC100 Power Center is the essential foundation for your salt chlorine generation system. Engineered for versatility and safety, this power hub provides the necessary electrical current to drive your IntelliChlor IC20, IC40, or IC60 salt cell. With an auto-sensing 110/220V design, it seamlessly integrates into your existing equipment pad, converting high-voltage power into the low-voltage DC current required to sanitize your pool water efficiently and automatically.
Key Features
- Universal Voltage Support: Features auto-sensing technology that adapts to both 110V and 220V electrical inputs for easy installation.
- System Foundation: Required power supply for all Pentair IntelliChlor Salt Chlorine Generator cells (IC20, IC40, and IC60).
- Built-in Safety Circuitry: Protects your salt cell from power surges and electrical fluctuations, ensuring long-term hardware reliability.
- Weatherproof Enclosure: Housed in a rugged, NEMA-rated rainproof case designed to withstand harsh outdoor environments and chemical exposure.
- Automation Compatible: Seamlessly connects to Pentair IntelliCenter, IntelliTouch, and EasyTouch control systems for integrated management.
- Simple Wiring: Designed with dedicated knockouts and easy-access terminals to streamline the installation process for pool professionals.

Warnings and Disclaimers
- High Voltage Hazard: All electrical wiring must be performed by a licensed electrician. Disconnect all power before opening the enclosure to prevent electric shock or death.
- Pump Synchronization: The PC100 Power Center must be wired so that it only receives power when the pool pump is running. Operating the salt cell without water flow can lead to a dangerous buildup of hydrogen gas.
- Mounting Location: Install the power center at least 5 feet from the inside wall of the pool and 1 foot above the ground to comply with safety codes and prevent flood damage.
- Thermal Protection: Ensure the unit has adequate ventilation. Do not mount inside a closed cabinet or near heat sources that could trigger the internal safety shut-off.
💡 Pro-Tips for Success
- Interlock Safety: Always wire the PC100 to the load side of the pump timer or the "Filter Pump" relay in your automation panel. This is your primary fail-safe against cell damage.
- Surge Protection: While the unit has built-in safety circuitry, installing an external surge protector on your main equipment panel can further extend the life of the PC100's internal transformer.
- Check the Cord: Periodically inspect the 4-prong cell cable connection at the bottom of the PC100. Ensure it is fully seated and the locking ring is tight to prevent arcing or "no-cell" errors.
- Automation Sync: If using a Pentair automation system, the PC100 can be bypassed if your system has an integrated salt power center—check your panel's internal components before purchase.
